The only false info I see is that SBI did actually have tv on OLN at least in 02-03. Mr Alweiss was not the "only one"

You are exactly right for your feelings and explanations. For the past few years, we have heard nothing but sales pitches and we are the bestess, etc. I can remember hearing about going to China, tv in 06, Hulk Hogan, every team will be given a sponsor(if you show up for the auditions), up to CBS and your right, nothing happened. Was it anybody in particular's fault? Never, it was always someone else's....

Unfortunately, all of offshore is in an awkward position due to these broken promises, but hopefully in November you will be sitting in front of a television and watching the VS telecast. The proof is in the pudding. I know for a fact that Mr Haggin and Mr McComb wouldnt put something of this magnitude to their names w/o it being a signed, sealed, PIF deal. Also as well, do you think Geico Insurance would allow their name to be attached to something like this, and it not be true, especially when they are currently in litigation with another company for misrepresentation?

Congrats to OPA and a huge thank you to Mr Haggin and Mr McComb!!!

Good luck to you Mr Driveguy and with you making a living in boat racing for 25 years, bless you and we all only wish you continued success! With you based in Winterville, if you bump into Jerry, tell him I said hello and the little boat he built is doing great!!!
